Editor's Note (10.03.12) ~~ I've updated the document to bring it current through September 21, 2012.
There may be some amendments to it soon, in which case I'll re-post the
revised version. Those who would rely on the provisions of Regulation
64 are always best to check the official version, which is available via
this link.

Back in March 2010 I posted a link to a single electronic copy of New York's Insurance Regulation 64 (11 NYCRR Part 216), which had resided on the then New York State Insurance Department's website. That link was very, very popular ever since, generating a good deal of hits to this blog.

Unfortunately, the recent transmogrification of the New York State Insurance and Banking Departments into the New York State Department of Financial Services has shattered all of this blog's NYS Insurance Department website links. One would think some money could have been found even in New York's austerity budget for someone to point all old NYSID links to their new NYSDFS counterparts. Would that have been so hard?

I'm working on restoring all broken links to Insurance Department Department of Financial Services web resources and citations on this blog. For starters, I've created and uploaded to the filing cabinet of my own Google Site another single electronic copy of the very popular New York's Insurance Regulation 64 (11 NYCRR Part 216). You can find that electronic copy here or by clicking on its link in the New York Insurance Resources widget a bit down on the right side of this page. I looked everywhere on the Department of Financial Services' new website for the Insurance Department's copy of Regulation 64 but alas, it wasn't there. Imagine that -- no copy of the very regulation that proscribes unfair claims and settlement practices by insurers. Some conspiracy theorists will likely posit that this was deliberate.

In any event, this document now resides on a site that I control, and it claims to be current through October 21, 2011.

Either way, this is where I tell you that what I post on this blog or blawg is not intended and should not be considered to be legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed either from your finding your way to these pages, posting comments, or receiving comments in reply. If you need or want legal advice, you're welcome to contact and retain me, especially if your question is one relating to insurance coverage. If quality and correctness are optional to you, however, just turn on a TV, open a newspaper, or take a drive along a nearby highway and jot the numbers down of lawyers who probably don't blawg but spend gobs and gobs more on advertising than I do.

Although I try my best to keep the material on these pages current, I cannot promise that all case decisions, statutes and hyperlinks will always be up-to-date. Same goes for content accuracy. I'm nearly, but not always, perfect. Please report dead links or overruled or superseded case decisions to me by clicking here.

The viewpoints and opinions I may myself express in this blawg from time to time are my own and do not necessarily reflect more than one-half of the official position of the law firm of Mura & Storm, PLLC. For the record, I respect all judges, named or unnamed in these posts, though not always their judicial acumen or composition. I reserve the right to revise my thinking and recant my occasional disagreement with the logic or language of a court's decision, especially if IAS matches me with any of the mildly maligned magistrates in one of my clients' litigated matters.
